19. You know, the same could be said of any series generally aimed at children that has young teens/kids as the heroes, though. Digimon's a good one for that, too. Like, everything, OOC AND underaged NC-17.

33. I've been wondering something along those lines lately as well...

1

[misteline.livejournal.com]

1. Agreed! Well, Setsuna is aiight, I guess.

24

[scaramouche]

YES.

Neil Gaiman/Dave McKean's MirrorMask was inspired by Labyrinth, and guess what? In that one, HOGGLE GETS THE GIRL.

Re: 24

[my2k.livejournal.com]

It's why I love Neil Gaiman. He knows how to do things right.

[somatosensation.livejournal.com]

I love Boku no Pico and Pico to Chico and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I like shota.

Having said that, Pico to Chico was cute as well as hot.

[(Anonymous)]

I've been wanting to say that forever. YES, they changed things, but can't you just appreciate what an excellent movie it is??

Re: 39

[drworm.livejournal.com]

NO

FOR FUCK'S SAKE

I REALLY CAN'T

PS IT'S NOT CUZ OF THE CHANGES

IT IS BECAUSE OF THE MASSIVE SUCKING

19

[misora.livejournal.com]

I've written NC-17 of two of the characters who were 14 and 17 for this fandom. And yeah, in some states, they're underage. But they're teenagers. Teenagers have sex. Some of them wait until they're legal, some of them get too curious before that. Deal with it.

It sounds to me like you're just bothered by the idea of kids having sex more than anything else. I've seen far, far worse stuff in other fandoms.

Re: 19

[agawa-jean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd have to place this under the verdict of "don't like it, don't read it". And kudos - teenagers do have sex. (Well, some of them.)

TAKE THAT SUGARY SWEET DEPICTIONS OF RICH ALL-AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOLS. D:
Ugh.

[teostra.livejournal.com]

[the-murderer.livejournal.com]

5.- No love for Luigi. :(

Not many interesting secrets lately huh.

[anibunny.livejournal.com]

Yeah. . .that's what I am feeling. But maybe I am just tired. *mrfs*

[jukebox-hero.livejournal.com]

6. I SHIP THEM, TOO. :D

37. Me tooooo. I can't help but feel so sad for him when I watch it. :(

26, 40

[ppierrot.livejournal.com]

26. YES YES YES.

40. You should just say, "THIS IS MY GUILTY PLEASURE, GUYS. WE ALL HAVE THEM."

[agawa-jean.livejournal.com]

19. I don't really care about what people write (since I try not to read it without rec's) but yeah, I stay awaaaaay from the Avatar fandom. Ten foot pole please~! It's just not worth the drama?
21. Aww, Doug. I mean, even though your secret has nothing to do with it? Aww, Doug.
22. D: I hope she doesn't read FS?
23. I love all the female character love on FS lately. It's honestly fantastic guys.
28. Obviously making a typo is AUTOFAIL@LIFE
33. >: This makes me sad. Do people really just wiki stuff so they can join a fandom? Understandable sometimes, but...I find the joy of a series to be in the original series. Each to their own I suppose.
...Or maybe I'm just nostalgic for an older intertubes.
34. I like your reasoning, on both counts. Also, variety is the spice of life.
45. At the very least, sexual fantasy =/= REAL fantasy =/= being a bad person, so don't feel guilty about it.

60 & 39

[yenesi.livejournal.com]

LOL.

And 11, as well.

LOL.

[(Anonymous)]

Mosskat is a total bitch. :(

I don't like the animation style of the show either. ::shrug::

41 OP

[(Anonymous)]

Really? Well, I've never had personal dealings with her. (She makes Odd pretty, that's all I care about. XD)

It's definitely an acquired taste. To each their own, I guess.

[kiyuu.livejournal.com]

16. No, really? Holy shit I never KNEW that!

... Sarcasm aside, I think anyone who DIDN'T know it was a musical is... eh. I'm not going to insult them because I'm sure there were people that didn't know because they weren't around when it got all it's hype in it's Broadway Days, but please don't assume all the fans nowadays are stupid. it only makes you look like an idiot.

39. IAWTC VERREH MUCH. Please stop wanking, Broadway Elitists.

[lashiec.livejournal.com]

5. I love WEEGEE. :(

18. Draw something original then. Including your -own- characters sometimes. Thats what separates good artists from the great ones.

39

[herosquad.livejournal.com]

39. There is a third kind, you know. You see, once upon a time, there was a brilliant little Broadway revival of Sweeney Todd that opened in 2005. And as with all brilliant shows, it had a small but very committed fanbase, commonly referred to as the 'Sweeneyboppers,' or the 'Hot Toddies' (a name which was actually given to us by Donna Lynne Champlin, the freaking amazing woman who played Pirelli). We were close. Really close. Like, we made some of our best friends through the fandom, people we're still extremely close with despite the fact that the production closed in September of 2006, just a couple months shy of a year run. We had countless inside jokes, we wrote long, detailed, weepy posts about our experiences with the show, we befriended the cast and were invited to their solo gigs and and and... it was an amazing time.

Some of us liked the film, and some of us didn't. But for the Hot Toddies, the fact that we will always prefer the production that brought us together doesn't mark us as "theatre elitists." It may or may not be the best interpretation of Sondheim's work, but for us, it doesn't matter either way. The fact that the film exists and the work has been preserved is pretty much enough - Angela, Patti, and Helena are apples, oranges, and pears. If you prefer pears to apples or oranges to pears, that's your call - we're not saying that pears are a lesser fruit, just that oranges are our favorites.

And just for the record:



from broadwaysecrets the week the revival closed. That should show you how close we were.

Re: 39

[theorygirl.livejournal.com]

There's a broadwaysecrets!? I'm so there!

[yui-hime.livejournal.com]

34) THIS PICTURE IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.

[kurotoshi.livejournal.com]

NOT-SO-ANON DELIVERS!

TOTALLY NWS, BTW!

[xanykaos.livejournal.com]

16. You lose. Just...seriously. There's this thing that fans of something old and classic have--if anything occurs that makes it mainstream or popular, no one ever assumes that maybe the people getting into it just because it's mainstream and popular may well actually look into it beyond that. Fans tend to be nerds. Oodles of New Doctor Who fans devour the classic series because they loved the shiny new one so much. Plenty of people read up on and actually researched pirates because of PotC. And, I promise you, plenty of Sweeny Todd fans will go on to discover the joys of Sondhiem. Not all. But a lot. Stop assuming that new fans=bandwagoners. Maybe people like things because they're good and they're just now being brought to their attention.


19. Agreed. And I hate seeign freaking author asides in fic. I kind of want to smack everyone who ever writes something like "Zuko drew his sword(oh man, isn't it hot when he does that!)" or whatever.


24. Yeah...


43. That looks so familiar...

Re: 16

[jay-m-l.livejournal.com]

SO MUCH WIN. Just because I had never heard of the musical before the film came out doesn't mean that I'm a worse fan for liking the movie. Seriously, people need to stop being so uptight, and just appreciate that things like the movie are giving more people the chance to see the wonderful thing that they themselves fell in love with.

Oh, and I second the Who thing.

[levikitty.livejournal.com]

5. I love Luigi to death. He's my favorite Mario character.

But you are right. He is so terribly overrated it hurts.

I can't believe the number of Mario fanfics I've seen where Luigi for whatever reason hates his brother, kills Mario, etc. They're usually written by people with such Luigi fanaticism that they take everything that makes Luigi lovable and throw it out the window.

Luigi has been so overrated to the point that people make him into a homicidal psychopath stu just because they want him to be the star, and not Mario. Even though Luigi makes it clear multiple times in the games that he doesn't want the spotlight. And it makes me sad. D:

26. The only reason multi-chapter fics seem more popular is because there's something to keep fans coming back, and that because they get regularly updated, they're circulated more and have longer to get a larger following.

This "OMG DRABBLES >>>>>>> CHAPTER FICS" crusade is really getting out of proportion.

[lashiec.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Luigi works so much better as a supportive, timid character.

10, 33, 41

[nomadskye.livejournal.com]

10: Hm, so everyone who writes non-canon writes slash? Sure. Also, people who write canon never character bash a romantic rival. Uh huh.

33: Agreed!

41: Agreed! Except that the fandom is already quite batshit.

41 OP

[(Anonymous)]

I know, I know. It makes me wonder whether or not anyone who actually remembers junior high watches the show, sometimes... still, it could be even worse.

(BTW - love the icon, and I totally agree in regards to 10, mostly nowadays for the sake of the girl in said icon...)

[slatterly.livejournal.com]

13. I haven't finished the game yet, so I don't really know all that much about him, but it totally boggled me how he shows up, makes this completely awesome speech, and then all the characters are like, "OH MY GOD, HE'S SO EVIL. LET'S GO ON EPIC QUESTS TO DO THINGS TO PREVENT HIS EVIL. EVIL EVIL EVIL." It kinda seemed to come out of nowhere. So yeah, Vayne = pretty hardcore as far as I can tell.

26. Drabbles are awesome. Personally, the only things I can write Huge Epic Stuff for are episodic series like Batman, where you can mess around with fan-episodes and all that. I think the whole point of fanfic is to experiment with things that weren't in the original and drabbles/vignettes/one-shots are really good ways of doing that.

34. Word.

[infected-wound.livejournal.com]

Vayne gives evil vibes. It's in the hair 8D

17.

[betise-mcmutton.livejournal.com]

17. Oh PLEASE DO. I don't even like that type of cutesy shoujo but I loved that show. It was so good, and the songs were great. Would you care to recommend some good shoujo (magical girl or not) to me?

Re: 17.

[kurozukin-a.livejournal.com]

I recommend Princess Tutu just about every chance I get, since as far as I'm concerned it's the best anime ever; and it happens to be shoujo and magical girl.

44

[dualshine.livejournal.com]

I cannot believe I just saw a 'Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels' secret! OP, whoever you are, I salute you. I've finally found someone else who sees the genius in that movie.

Re: 44

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

!! You're the first (and I wouldn't be surprised if you were the only) person to recognize that movie! :DD You are made of awesome!

-OP

[ex-scarf253.livejournal.com]

3. KIERAN IS AMAZING. I also love Lowen. He's so sweet and dorky.

5. This made me sad. :'[ I love Luigi.

23. I only started reading these books because everyone in my Writers Craft class would not shut up about it. To be honest, I've read better, but at the same time, I've read worse. :\

The only character I care about is Rosalie, but half the fandom ignores her, so whatever. XD

[theorygirl.livejournal.com]

16. I don't really get what you mean. What does it being a Sondheim musical have to do with anything?

17. Yeah, I'm getting pretty tired of guardians forbidden kids to do stuff, too, no matter what the media.

39. What about the folks inbetween, though? What about the folks who thought it was a good, although not perfect because perfection is impossible, film, even though Sweeney Todd isn't their favorite musical?

[(Anonymous)]

16. Apparently Sondheim is the God of musicals? Dunno, all these people are making a REALLY BIG DEAL!!! out of the fact that it's SONDHEIM. I guess us little peons are missing something.

39. Hey, play by the rules! Either or now! You don't get to take the neutral middle ground. You must wank till it falls off.
